Abstract

This experiment evaluated the development and implementation of 5 pilot health education activities using a comprehensive and population-based approach in general medicine practice and in pharmacies. These interventions involved 185 patients, and they were developed and carried out by 35 general practitioners and pharmacists in 5 sites in France between 2001 and 2004. Health professionals often demonstrated and argued for a comprehensive approach to health: positive vision of health, integration of different aspects of health, and personalized, tailored efforts. Pregnant women, adolescents, and elderly people have certain specificities that must be taken into account in a population-based approach. The activities were based on simple techniques using interview guidelines and informational documents to aid and support both expressiveness and the professional-patient relationship.
